Charleigh Barker

Charleigh Barker is a Shire horse breeder in Hays, NC, Wilkes County and the Blue Ridge near Winston-Salem. She has been working with Shire horses for several years, combining traditional breeding selections with modern health practices. Routine veterinary care, regular dental checks and annual vaccinations ensure each foal develops with sound structure.

Her horses live in open pastures with daily turnout and gentle handling to encourage calm, confident temperaments. Foals grow up alongside older companions to support early socialization within a safe barn environment. One owner noted the well-mannered nature of their young draft horse as a testament to Barker’s careful attention. The farm’s rolling fields and sturdy barns offer space for horses to build strength at their own pace. Whether bred for riding or light farm work, these Shire horses reflect a balanced approach to breeding and daily care.
